Destiny 2's first Valentine's Day-themed event is officially live. Following a period of server downtime, Bungie has launched a new update that marks the start of the Crimson Days event on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Among other things, that means there are new rewards to now get your hands on.

As outlined recently, Crimson Days centers around a new 2v2 Crucible mode. You can join up solo or with a friend, but either way, you're strongly encouraged to stay physically close to your partner. Doing so causes your abilities to recharge more quickly than usual, while straying far apart will provide the enemy team with waypoints directing them to your location.

Taking part in the Crimson Days playlist is described as the "best" way to earn rewards, though it isn't the only path. Most of the new items are found in the Crimson Engram, which is guaranteed to not decrypt into any duplicates until you've gotten everything it contains. In addition to earning them through the Crucible mode, you'll receive a Crimson Engram (as well as the usual Illuminated Engram) each time you level up, provided you've hit the level cap. You'll also get one just by logging in and speaking with Tess at The Tower.

Crimson Days? Does this event take place every 28 days and lasts 3 days?

We had a few people in our WoW guild who took a week off from raiding to play Destiny 2, they were all back in 4 days and nobody had anything nice to say. Isolated incident? Maybe, but I don't think very many people are too thrilled with the game, at least not anymore.

For Valentine's Day, instead of giving us more armor to put on our Guardians, how about the ability to take pieces off and customize the look of our characters more. Also, I appreciate the new map, but a new Strike would have been nice too. I miss prison of elders, something similar wouldn't be that hard to add.
